by Achille de Lauzières-Thémines (1818? - 1894)

Coquetterie
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Moi coquette ! Ah ! peux-tu le croire ?
Connais-tu donc si mal mon cœur ?
Je dédaigne la vaine gloire
D'un art frivole et séducteur !

Evoquant un don tutélaire,
Parfois surmontant mon émoi.
Oui, j'en conviens, je cherche à plaire,
Je veux plaire, mais c'est à toi.

Si parfois l'on me voit sourire,
Loin de toi goûter le bonheur,
C'est encore l'effet de l'empire
Que tu possèdes sur mon cœur.

Parler de toi, bonheur suprême !
Ah ! tu peux bannir tout effroi,
Car les accents de l'amour même
Ne me feraient penser qu'à toi.
